Life is Always Good

Awh the little bits of grass are turning green and Mum's daffodils are peeking thru the ground. It is the lenten season! Happy Spring to all my pals and furiends on Dogster, Catster and Facebook! Paws&Hugs, Bentley

Tonight I was just checking on some old and new furiends; and on Handsome Jack's page I read a note that said Friends are kisses blown to us from angels..... How sweet and how very true! Kisses to all of you too!! Paws&Hugs, Bentley

Boy the last 6 mos I've seen alot of my furiends go to the bridge.....I'm thankful for all the furiends I've known and know. Furiends make our lives richer by giving us common bonds and laughter, understandings, goals and gentle acceptance of the passage of time. We have furiends because by definition furiendship is unconditional. My heart beats stronger for all the furiends that have made my life more meaningful.

On March 18, 1958, on the corner of Fourth and Walnut, now Fourth and Muhammad Ali in Louisville, Kentucky, Thomas Merton had a vision of oneness with all people. He called this vision an "epiphany."

"In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers. It is a glorious destiny to be a member of the human race ... there is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun."

Paradoxically, Merton experienced this transformation when he was out of his everyday monastic life and was immersed in the hustle and bustle of our shopping district - now Fourth Street Live. Merton said of his experience:

"I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God's eyes. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all of the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed..."

Ah I can sniff spring in the air and in spring a young lad's thoughts turn to love with
the truest Spring Maiden.
Aye that would be my Sweet Maiden Sandy......she is brighter than the sun and more delicate than the first crocus that pops thru the spring soil to say Hello... makes me want to do unending cartwheels on ice. (daydreaming of skating on ice wid Sandy) We would take the gold no questions asked......
